Screen Research launched its new XMask range of screens at the ISE in Geneva (16/2/2004)

This masking line for fixed screens is aimed to ensure that the projected image has a black border, no matter what its format, noticeably improving the perceived image quality.

This product line stands out due to its striking innovations, especially related to the horizontal movement of the lateral vertical masks. It allows a total compatibility with all kinds of video format and ensures a true cinema effect.

This new technology offers a great precision and an unequalled compactness. Indeed, the frame is only 14 cm (5.5") deep and 15 cm (5.9") wide.

The range includes three different products:

- The XMask Supreme, the top of the range, equipped with 4 independent vertical and horizontal masks providing the image with a black border, no matter what its format. Image sizes (height and length) can then vary, according to the required formats. The standard native format is 16/9 (1.78) but it can also be adapted to any specific format.

- The XMask CineScope includes the lateral masks of XMask Supreme and has a 2.35 format. It allows the viewer to maintain a constant height for the image, no matter what its format, and is especially targeted at projectors with anamorphic systems.

- The XMask WideScope, with the same characteristics as the CineScope, but with a 16/9 (1.78) format.
